So painful to have these stats analyzed and used as justifications when they reflect every league. -_-

Why do they even bother showing every league? They used to show each league.

why? they said they care about balance in all leagues. If there is a huge disparity when the ladder is supposed to be designed for 50% win rates their is obviously something wrong.

I'll be real, anyone who watches or plays enough sc2 knows that Protoss is too favored in the late game vs Terran at the moment. I'm not sure if there just needs to be a metagame shift or if they actually have to patch something or adjust maps, but It's starting to get kind of silly.

We'll see what happens, maybe a new biomech composition needs to be dreamed up or something.

edit: also this comes from a protoss player

"Protoss has good representation in terms of the number of protoss tournament qualifiers at the general professional level, but has the lowest representation at the very highest professional level."

This article is an absolute joke.

Balance in each individual league is very different than balance overall.

70% PvT win rate on Cloud Kingdom is quite significant I feel, that roughly 2 Protoss wins for every Terran victory.

They only talk about gerneral win rate again, as usual. No mention whatsoever about TvP mid game, or late game, or BL/infestor,....

In our current map pool, we’re seeing that not every map we’ve added to our pool is balanced for every matchup. For example, our data shows a 70% PvT win ratio on Cloud Kingdom, a 62% win ratio in PvZ on Korhal Compound, and a 37% win ratio on Metalopolis for TvZ. It’s worth noting that these represent the heaviest imbalances in the maps on our ladder, but that this also isn’t necessarily a problem.

Our current stance on this is we believe slight imbalances in maps actually make the game more interesting, as long as the imbalances aren’t too great.



70%, 62% and 37% aren't too great? What?
Inno pls...

Terran dominated the last three MLGs (apart from DRG just pipping MKP in the final of the last one, Dreamhack, Asus, The Gathering, Copenhagen Games and still have had good representation in the GSL. They have a 60-40% win rate in Korea at tournament level and a 54-46% win rate over protoss internationally as of last month. The amount of hysterical whining from terran players when they are still getting far better results than the other races is completely ridiculous. I'm hope David Kim and the balance team don't let themselves be influenced by such senseless advocacy.

how exactly do they work out 'unadjusted skill' from ladder when the whole ladder adjusts for your skill so you only get 50% when its working?

i genuinely want to know how this could possibly be done

Even David Kim uses the word metagame to mean "the popular strategy". sigh

Micro better? Terran has the higher skill cap for a reason =D

Edit: I like the current balance. I'm curious if they are going to do anything about the map imbalance in the foreseeable future.

Terran is still favored earlier game and has better overall win rates both in Korea and internationally at the highest level. Why would they patch it when terran still has better win rates at tournament level?
